3. About the story…

4. “The real evils indeed of Emma’s situation were the power of
having too much her own way and a disposition to think a
little too well of herself; these were the disadvantages which
threatened alloy to her many enjoyments.

6. Imagery
“She was a very pretty girl, and her beauty happened to be of a sort which
Emma particularly admired. She was short, plump and fair, with a fine bloom,
blue eyes, light hair, regular features, and a look of great sweetness”

7. Allusion
and Irony
“The course of true love never did run smooth—A
Hartfield edition of Shakespeare would have a long
note on that passage.”

8. Hyperbole
● “Every letter from her is read forty times over; her compliments to all friends
go round and round again; and if she does but send her aunt the pattern of a
stomacher, or knit a pair of garters for her grandmother, one hears of nothing
else for a month. I wish Jane Fairfax very well; but she tires me to death.”
● “With insufferable vanity had she believed herself in the secret of everybody's
feelings; with unpardonable arrogance proposed to arrange everybody's
destiny. She was proved to have been universally mistaken; and she had not
quite done nothing—for she had done mischief. She had brought evil on
Harriet, on herself, and she too much feared, on Mr. Knightley.”

9. Irony
“I have none of the usual inducements of women to marry. Were I to
fall in love, indeed, it would be a different thing! but I never have been
in love; it is not my way, or my nature; and I do not think I ever shall.”
(Emma explained that to Harriet but finally she marry with a man)

10. Metaphor
“A few minutes were sufficient for making her acquainted with her own heart. A
mind like hers, once opening to suspicion, made rapid progress; she touched,
she admitted, she acknowledged the whole truth. Why was it so much worse that
Harriet should be in love with Mr. Knightley than with Frank Churchill? Why was
the evil so dreadfully increased by Harriet’s having some hope of a return? It
darted through her with the speed of an arrow that Mr. Knightley must marry no
one but herself!
